Two exhibitions
Swiss Institute - Old location, New York
Delta by Pierre Vadi evokes visions of a lunar landscape where thin atmosphere has vitrified and warped. Rather than finding sedimentary deposits, one discovers the traces of construction: furled acrylic sheets, scattered stone screws, and circular saws of resin. The exhibition casts an anxiety onto all progression. Cabaret Voltaire is one of Switzerland's most vibrant contemporary art spaces, programming shows and events in the old town of Zurich. For the month of December, it presents some of the most exciting products from small creative industries across Switzerland and Europe.

Cabaret Voltaire is one of Switzerland’s most vibrant contemporary art spaces, programming shows and events in the old town of Zurich (yes, it was also the birthplace of DADA back in 1916). The storefront is an unconventional boutique with a selection of objects, editions and fashion selected by Andrea Roca. For the month of December, Boutique Cabaret Voltaire will present some of the most exciting products from small creative industries across Switzerland and Europe.
